September 18, 2006
It was a joy to work with this gracious professional FLL team.
They helped get the material in from my car and quickly figured out the NXT.
They worked together well as a team deciding who would do what.
They set up the 2006 Nano Quest field.
They quickly learned to program and download to the NXT.
The last field piece was finished and attachments were made for the bot.
They worked on ideas for the 9 challenges.
Self assembly worked even though it is a long distance from base.
Truck is positioned.
During the day all the other classes got to see the work as they went
out to recess.

Teleoperate LEGO CITY at http://lego.marshall.edu
NASA site of Remote Sensing on

Both Red Rover and SENSORSCITY can be operated from here.
The bot can stop on a line and drop off the ball,
open the stuck nano probe and start the space elevator,
move the box, and the pizza molecules.
This was a day of big accomplishments.
Now that every thing can be done, the fun will be learning about Nanotechnology
for a presentation
and getting the programs to run in 2 and a half minutes.
The bot can stop BEFORE hitting the wall.
Now when you look at the Tucker Valley NXT you can see his name.

Bye for now. See you at FLL events.
